Saw a documentary on this on youtube recently. Looks very impressive. Folding wings, lands on water or hard ground. Particularly like the AoA indicator. The concept of "stall speed" always struck me as a bit misleading or at best an approximation.

Hi Toby,

I've been flying the Icon A5 in FLIGHT for a few years and it does have the AoA instrument. Not having had one before, I have tended to ignore it. I must make more effort to look at it in various phases of flight and see if I can find it useful :agree:
